Whether the two separate pieces of uranium or the same pieces stuck together leak more neutrons.
Answer to Problem 6A
The two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck pieces together.
Introduction:
The fission reaction in which the neutron produced in one reaction stimulates the other atoms for fission reaction is called the chain reaction.
Explanation:
The numbers of neutrons produces from the fission reaction of the two separate pieces are twice than that produce due to fission reaction of two pieces stuck together.
The neutrons from separate pieces can initiate the chain reaction to double the atoms than that by the stuck piece together. So, two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck piece.
Conclusion:
Thus, the two separate pieces will leak more neutron than the stuck pieces together.
